What is the best technique to take pictures of active kids, indoor?
My daughter is very active and never sits still for more than 1 sec. The picture i got is often blur. I've tried various setting on my 50D, high shutter speed, sports mode and even flash.
What about shutter speed? Should we set shutter speed to 1/200??
thanks for the advice. Will try it tmw.
Does lens make a difference? I'm using kit lens 18-55. If I were to buy new lens what wld u recmmd?

When you say you're using flash, I assume it's the built in flash. Often the pics turns out quite poor. If you're going to invest in something, I would suggest getting an external flash. With some diffusion or bouce, you'll get excellent indoor photos. I wouldn't worry too much about the kit lens at the moment.
I used an external flash but have not acquire the skill in using it yet. Photos appear over exposed most of the times. I think I shd try it with 'diffusion or bounce' like u mentioned.
A fast prime lens?
How do we know among the canon lens, which is fast and which is slow? What's the diff btwn prime and macro lens? and EF vs EF-S? I heard a bit abt L lens, are they good?
try doing metering of the background, and let the flash take care of the exposure of the kid.
u can try locking the exposure to the background using spot metering. I guess this way it should resolve the problem.
